Beautiful day, great friends

We had a great visit with blippers Connections and Philipo, friends of ours for many years now.  They encouraged me to start this blip and I'm so glad they did!  We had some lovely meals, and beautiful walks, with C encouraging my use of the zoom on my camera.  I never would have captured this crane before I had this new toy of mine, so I'm thrilled.  I've attached two extras photos that I was very happy with - actually there were quite a few.  Beautiful weather and fantastic company brings out the best in everything.
